If u were to pick from all 5* items 1 Armor 1 Helm 1 Shield 4 Weapons and 2 Trinkets to go in a FSC run, what would u take with u? and why?
Your FSC set
Definitely not the best but at this moment I bring...
Divine Avenger, Leviathan, Polaris, Blitz Needle, Vog Cub Cap, Vog Cub Coat, Grey Owlite Shield, 2 Elite Sword Focus Module
any kind of UVs are just extra bonus.
I like VH ASI + Max CTR on sword because I often charge divine avenger near Slag Walkers.
ASI helps avoiding their "slap" attack when I release charge.
Divine Avenger + Polaris could destroy all wheels from any angle.
Blitz Needle Charge Attack is a killer for trojan and vanaduke. I switch my gun to polaris if my party messed up on vanaduke a lot.
Shock could stop vanaduke's rotating/dashing for a second.
I found that grey owlite shield is much better than any shield. I never worry about shadow attack since it's melee and you just need to stay in distance but I always run into shadow fire (on floor) and vanaduke's orbs + mask which deals elemental damage.
Leviathan is mostly for Vanaduke phase 1 and mask phases.
Helm: Divine veil UV Normal Max. (No costume.)
Armor: Armor of the Fallen UV Normal Max. (Nameless poncho as costume.)
Shield: Crest of Almire UV Normal Max.
Slot 1 Wep: Voltedge UV Ctr Vh.
Slot 2 Wep: Polaris UV Dmg Vs. Undead Vh.
Slot 3 Wep: Blitz Needle UV Ctr Vh.
Slot 4 Wep: Electron Vortex UV Ctr Vh.
Slot 1 Trinket: Elite Slash Module.
Slot 2 Trinket: Elite Trueshot Module.
Pretty stellar if you ask me, :P. I'd take this stuff for maximum damage to vana and to the undead. Not to mention trojans. Hah!
=Vana owned.
Full Vog - Elemental defense is major in FSC, Zombies are too easy to avoid
Volcanic Plate Shield/Grey Owlite Shield - VPS for Vana, GOS for FSC (excluding Vana)
Divine Avenger - Elemental Damage
Cold Iron Vanquisher/Barb Thorn Blade - CIV for the Vana mask, BTB for Trojans and Vana, BTB charge can hit vana through two layers of fireball.
Shivermist Buster - for freezing everything you see in FSC
Polaris/Blitz Needle - Polaris for Zombies and a little bit for Vana, Blitz for Trojans and Vana
I'm surprised nobody picked out 3 UVs...
Anyway
Helm : Skolver Cap (Max elemental,shadow and fire.)
Armor : Skolver coat (Max elemental,shadow and fire.)
Shield : Barbarous Thorn Shield (Max normal,elemental and fire.)
Weapon 1 : Voltedge (ASI very high,CTR very high.)
Weapon 2 : Divine Avenger (CTR very high,ASI very high.)
Weapon 3 : Blitz Needle (CTR very high,ASI very high.)
Weapon 4 : Polaris (Undead very high,ASI very hgh.)
Trinket 1 : True Love Locket.
Trinket 2 : True Love Locket.
Tell me how this wont do well in FSC?>:o
Its a dream...I know... :'(
Rangerwill, doesn't Armor of the Fallen penalize your damage against fiends, including trojans?
No, Bopp. With his modules he would be doing Med. against fiends. The Divine Veil gives a Med. boot to fiends while the Fallen armor has a negative Med. While he wouldn't be doing maximum, he would be doing more to fiends and all enemy types.
Dirt, you're right of course that he ends up with Bonus Fiend Medium. I guess I was expecting more, from how he was talking. But medium isn't bad. :)
My preferred FSC set? Not considering UV's...
Helm: Vog Cub Cap (duh)
Armor: Vog Cub Coat (also duh)
Shield: Crest of Almire (I can't believe only one other person mentioned this)
Trinket 1: Elite Sword Focus Module (for Divine Avenger's awesome charge)
Trinket 2: Elite Slash Module
Weapon 1: Dread Venom Striker (for Vanaduke's mask and for Trojans)
Weapon 2: Divine Avenger (duh)
Weapon 3: Blitz Needle (for Vanaduke, of course)
Weapon 4: Either Polaris or Shivermist Buster, depending on the team I'm with.

Im bringing my stuff-set.
@Nj:It is possible to get a "maxed" UV, although extremely rare.
It sucks, and it's this:
Vog Cub Cap
Skolver Coat
Grey Owlite Shield
Fearless Rigadoon
Prisma Driver
Radiant Pulsar
Plasma Capacitor
Elite Bomb Focus Module
Quick Strike Module
:X
Currently I'm playing FSC with Ancient plate set and all sorts of weapons to be leveled, but I always carry Divine Avenger and argent Peacemaker with me.
If I were just to beat FSC and Duke, I'd go with this (no special UVs, I hate UV hunting):
- Vog Set
- Grey Owlite Shield (Fire)
- Divine Avenger (Zombs)
- Argent Peacemaker (Zombs and Vana)
- Barbarous Thorn Blade (Trojans)
- Dread Venom Striker (Turrets, Vana 1st phase, Vana mask phase)
- CTR focus (for DA charge)
- DMG focus (just because) or Heart Pendant
The Thorn blade could be interchanged with this electron vortex bomb to collect the zombs and slay them with DA afterwards. Or leave it away and use the remaining slot for leveling items.
I would go for:
Full Vog (Half vog and half skolver is good too)
Volcanic Plate Shield (It has saved me plenty of times)
Divine Avenger
Shivermist Buster
Blitz Needle (Maybe switch out for my levi)
Polaris
Slash Module Mk 2 (I think that's what it's called)
Bomb Module Mk 2/ Gun Module
Not much of a change from what I use.
Shadowsun Stetson
Shadowsun Slicker
Omega Shell
Leviathan Blade
Nova Driver
Umbra Driver
Blitz Needle
Elite Trueshot Module
Elite Trueshot Module <--- For my real setup I don't have a second trueshot module, because I have Elite Gun Focus Module instead.
The only UVs i would want are Medium+ CTR on all guns.
Biggest problem with this setup is that Vanaduke will only aim for you and only you.
What I use now:
Leviathan Blade CTR med
Shivermist Buster CTR med
Polaris
-a weapon to be heat up-
Vog Cub Cap
Divine Mantle UV shock high
Grey Owlite Shield
Elite Sword Focus
Elite Bomb Focus
What I would use:
Leviathan Blade CTR med
Shivermist Buster CTR med
Polaris dmg vs Undead: VH
-a weapon to be heat up-
Vog Cub Cap UV Normal def Maximum
Divine Mantle UV shock res Maximum
Grey Owlite Shield UV shadow def Maximum
Elite Sword Focus
Elite Bomb Focus
Vog cub coat
Volcanic plate helm
Volcanic plate shield
Divine Avenger
Blitz Needle
Polaris
Shivermist Buster
Quick slash Modulex2.
Chaos Cowl - High Fire Resist
Nameless Pocho
Wep 1: Leviathan - Low undead + low slimes + Vh ASI
or
Divine Avenger - Med CTR
Wep 2: Hail Driver - High CTR
Wep 3: Polaris - Low Gremlin right now >.>
Wep 4: Blitz Needle - Medium CTR
Shield: Swiftstrike Buckler - Med Shadow
Trinket 1: Charge Medium Gun
Trinket 2: Damage Medium Gun
Right at the moment I've got the following:
Vol Dem Helm UV Poison: Med
Mad Bomber Suit UV Shock: High
Levi UV ASI: Very High
Radiant Sun Shards UV Undead: Very High
Blitz Needle UV Undead: Medium
2x Elite Trueshot Modules
For FSC, its quite manageable to do a run with the RSS and Blitz only.
my loadout has been:
Divine Veil with a small UV somewhere, I think it's Shadow
Volcanic Demo suit, UV normal low
Owlite Shield
DA
Polaris
Blitz Needle
Voltaic Tempest
Trueshot module
Tri-heart pendant.
I tried being group bomber, but I'm no good at keeping Vanaduke frozen. I'm going to probably abandon bombing down there in favor of 2 guns and 2 swords, as I have an ASI high CIV too. I suck at Shivermisting, and Nitronome and Voltaic Tempest lags the game. I think in the future, I'll make my setup 2 elte trueshots, or get a shootist piece of armor. There's no way I'm going down to Vanaduke without my Blitz Needle now.
Also, I just finished up an Ironmight shield, and a Volcanic is on the way.
I tend to change my set up every now and then; I've done vog set, vog coat/divine veil, skolver set, skolver/vog mix, I've done a range of weapons and trinkets, and I'm currently wearing this:
Deadshot Mantle (stun resist: high)
Vog cub cap (shadow def: med)
Grey owlite shield (shadow def: med)
Fang of vog
Storm driver (dmg vs fiends: vh)
Blitz needle (dmg vs beasts: med)
DA (dmg vs undead: med)
Elite slash module
Soaking wetstone pendant
My dream set up would be the same apart from UVs and trinkets, I guess. I'd go with:
max shadow/fire/normal on all my armour and my shield
dmg vs fiends: max on the vog
ASI vh, dmg vs undead: max, dmg vs construct: max on my storm driver
CTR vh, ASI vh, dmg vs fiend: max on my blitz
CTR vh, ASI vh, dmg vs undead: max on my DA
And probably 2x true love trinkets as I'd have dmg bonus galore already.
@evilduck
you bring the FOV down into a Vanaduke run? It's a nice elemental sword, but I wouldn't have thought it'd be super-useful down there. It's a must-have on my JK runs now. heheh
@tengu
FoV is very good on Trojans, Charge hit 4 times and that like 1300 damage :p
@Dragonist
ooh ya, I love FoV. I've been soloing JK with it. I also have a Blitz Needle which works arguably better on Trojans, IMO at least.
@Tengu
For those who don't have Blitz >.>
I tend to use:
Volcanic plate mail
Glacius line
Vog Cap
Grey Owlite/ Barbarous thorn shield
and either my silversix or Dark thorn blade
@Tengu Blitz is fine for trojans (although I am inclined to use vog for the double trojans at the end of 27 because it kills/almost kills them faster), but nothing beats Vog for slag guards. One charge attack, and possibly a slash or two with the DA depending on the party size, and they're down. Means I can get them quickly and cleanly out of the way and get straight back onto blitz or water duties.
I think this thread will be better if we put our own set (since obtaining 3 max uvs on one item is near to impossible)
I'll start with my "For Vanaduke" loadout:
- Vog Cub Cap (Max Shadow)
- Vog Cub Coat (Max Shadow)
- Grey Owlite Shield (Max Shadow)
- Divine Avenger (CTR VH)
- Shivermist Buster (CTR VH)
- Polaris (CTR VH) [only used for the wheels]
- Blitz Needle (CTR VH) [for them horses]
- Elite Slash Module x2
Some replacements:
- Swiftstrike Buckler (Max Piercing) [for shield, obviously]
- Crest o' Almire (High Elemental) [again, for shield]
- Voltaic Tempest (CTR Med) [replacing Polaris]
- Skolver Coat (Normal High) [for armor, obviously]
I do successful FSC runs with:
Merc Helmet
Merc Armor
Crest of Almire
Storm Driver
Callahan
Biohazard/Umbra
Volcanic Bananabox
Elite Trueshot Trinket x2
If anything the only gun I really desire is a Blitz Needle, but I'm too lazy to make one (and I'm also a cheap bastard)
Yes, the movement speed is useful especially when you're charging the alchemer 3/4 of the whole FSC run.
I take the cookie cutter stuff.
Full Vog, Volcanic Plate Shield, DA, Faust, BTB, Gigawatt Pulsar (soon to be Polaris).
Trinkets? Pft. hahah
